I keep getting popup windows saying that I must download a critical update, but my browser is up-to-date. Scam?
Each time a page full screen appears saying that I need a critical update. It has the logo of Firefox, etc. When I go on the web site of Firefox it says that I'm up-to-date. Is it a scam?

When I try to update to Firefox, I get a window saying that it cannot be loaded because I don't have all the necessary permissions. What do this mean and what do I do?
If he has problems with the update or the permissions then simpler is to download the full version and trash the version currently installed to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the file on the desktop DMG
- Firefox 6.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
- Trash the present application Firefox to do a clean (re-) install
- Install the new version you downloaded

I try to down load El Cap to my iMac (mid 2007) and I get this message saying that I must have OS 10.11 to perform this task. Where can I find 10.11? Apple store has only 10.11.2 or later...
What you are trying to download is an update to El Capitan, which requires that El Capitan already installed.
You should find the correct Installer for El Capitan in the Apple store under the purchased tab.

After carefully installing Windows 7, Windows update tells me that I must install a critical update for the graphics card to Nvidia 9600 m GS on my Touchsmart, but every time I start the process, the download fails with the error code 80070005. I tried several times a day for a week now. Media Center won't play any TV, saying that the correct graphics drivers are not installed. I tried to install the drivers from the Nvidia site, but nothing helped.

You can drag the application Firefox to the doc in the Recycle Bin to remove (uninstall) it. That should be sufficient and allow you to install the new version of causing problems.

I get a window saying that my c drive is low on my Windows 7 pro, I can't solve the problem
I get a pop up box saying that my c drive is low. I checked on my hard drive is rated a 913 GB and I have only 38 GB left. I use it almost for nothing, except e-mail, some internet surfing, some pictures and trying to record music on widows media, so I barely use any hard drive, and it won't let me restore or some other functions because it is so weak. At the moment, he says: I'm free to 913 GB 38 GB.
The first thing I would do would be to run Disk Cleanup. Click Start-> computer. Right click on C:, and then click Properties. Then, click the disk cleanup button and see how much space that can release to you.
You can also download and run the free program Treesize
http://www.jam-software.com/treesize_free/ to see where your space has gone.
Good luck.

Firefox 3.5.1 running Vista stopped work, no error message. Tried to uninstall and install the updated version. Download the message that I first need to close Firefox, but it is not obviously executed.
This has happened
Don't know how many times
I restored my system to an earlier date, December 2009
User Agent

Firefox can not run visibly, but is probably running in the background. It is in the Task Manager. To access the Task Manager go to Start and type in taskmgrsearch field. This will open the process task manager. Then go to the tab processes and end firefox.exe. After the end of this process, close the Task Manager and try to re-run the installation/uninstallation.

I downloaded Flash Player and it still says that I must download!
I have and using a version of Mac OS X 10.5.8 and I have recently updated Safari to version 5 and since my Player Flash has not worked. When I try to watch videos, it is said that I need to download Flash Player, so I go through the entire download process and when I try to watch a video, it always says that I have to download Flash Player. When I troubleshoot my flash drive it says "the content of this page requires a newer version of Adobe Flash Player" but I have the latest version. My Flash PLayer worked fine until I updated Safari, why what is happening?
Hi, it would be nice if websites use the 'Install' word instead of download. big difference :-) Flash Player work in the browser, so websites are looking for the Flash Player control, which is the Shockwave Flash that should be in your Safari browser. If you have Quicktime and know where the plugins, look there for it. It must be there and activated.
If this isn't the case, then my guess is that the update to the new version of Safari caused a glitch or disabled.
Using Safari, go here to test, and then let me know if you can see the animation of the logo (spins) Flash and what version of Flash Player is displayed. http://www.Adobe.com/software/Flash/about/
Thank you
